texture, focus, exposure, etc. to render an image often with no apparent or discernible subject and/or a subject that appears entirely unlike any object • Aerial - A hybrid of two separate technologies, aviation and photography, aerial views generally adhere to one of two types: the direct vertical, producing a rational, linear representation useful in cartography, and the oblique horizontal; resulting in a more descriptive, pictorial image • Architecture - Views of the exteriors and interiors of individual domestic, commercial, religious, institutional, and other engineered structures, with emphasis on architectural style and design, as well as records of the evolution of structures in towns and cities • Astrophotography - Photography of both visible and invisible celestial objects; usually captured in darkness • Cityscape - Usually more glamorous than urban landscapes, cityscapes are broad-view photographic representations of cities or sections of cities regarded as cohesive scenes • Documentary - A photographic depiction of the real world intended to communicate something of importance - or to make a comment - that is understood by the viewer • Essay - A set or series of photographs tied together with text or captions intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions in the viewer • Event - Coverage of any special event, either indoors or outdoors, often involving large and/or roving groups of subjects and logistical planning with staff, after which prints are produced and sold to event clients and participants • Fashion - The art or practice of taking photographs of models displaying various fashions, especially for style magazines, in which the clothes and fashions are often enhanced by exotic locations, storylines, and array of props and backdrops for added impact • Fine Art - Fine art photography overlaps many genres of photography, as it is developed primarily for aesthetics and/or concept rather than utility. That is, it refers to photographs that are created to fulfill the creative vision of the artist. Thus, fine art photography stands in contrast to photojournalistic and commercial genres, as those varieties provide visual support for print media or focus on selling products or services, respectively, rather than expressing the artist's own perceptions and emotions to share • Glamour - A genre of photography whereby the subjects, usually female, are portrayed in a romantic or sexually alluring way • Industrial/Commercial/Ad - Photos made for hire to depict industrial/commercial activity and products at the behest of industrial/commercial organizations, agencies, publishers, and other business and industrial users involved in the buying and selling of goods or services, to p themselves and their undertakings and/or for purposes such as advertising and packaging. Commercial genres overlap other genres of photography because they utilize many of the same approaches and techniques. • From PentaxForums.com: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/photographic-technique/87698-photography-genres-demystified-muddied-i-m-not-quite-sure.html#ixzz2K1PhKTNw Sunday, 24 February 13
